Direction

I don't know about you, but I can't find my way out of the Mall if I've been inside there more than 10 minutes.  That's why I only go when my wife makes me go.  I'd never find my truck without her.

With all the road blocks and things in my life, I NEED direction.  And so the Spirit-directed Christian depends on the Word of God for direction and guidance in every circumstance.  He accepts the Bible as his final authority; his source of knowledge about God, others, and himself.  I know I do.  My Bible has become, although very "tattered", the most valuable GPS system for my life.

Look at Joshua 1:8 & 9; "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.  Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous!  Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."  What an appropriate verse for my "Mall" illustration.  It's like, I am strong and courageous and I do not tremble and am not dismayed at the Mall, as long as Barb is there with me...LOL.

Let me offer you additional study verses:  [Ps. 119:5 & 6;  Matt. 4:4;  Col. 1:9;  1 Thess. 5:15;  2 Tim. 2:15].

Okay everyone, grab your Bible.  We're going to the Mall.  You know I've had the opportunity to walk through a few malls presenting the Gospel of God as I went.  What a great time.
